Enhancement of Deep-UV Light Extraction Efficiency from Bulk AlGaN with Photonic Crystals Fabricated by Nanoimprint Lithography
Photonic crystal structures of 290 nm period were fabricated on the surface of AlGaN layer by nanoimprint lithography. Highly ordered porous anodic aluminum oxide was adopted as a convenient approach for large area of PhC pattern transferred. In contrast to a planar sample
both intensity and radiation profile of surface emission from AlGaN materials with PhCs structures were improved significantly. Honeycomb PhC structures deflected the original in-plane vector of TE guided light. The modified radiation profile was attributed to the diffraction and Bragg scattering effects of PhCs. The results would be helpful to enhancing surfacing emission and ameliorate polarization properties of deep-UV LEDs.
